ssr. Beecher's Condition.

NEW YORK, March THE serious and
what is thought will prove the last illness
Of Rev. Henry Ward Baecher has caused
considerable excitement, and the nei2hbor-
hood Of his residence has been thronged
with people all day eager 10 hear anything
in connection with his Illness CT TO scan the
latest bulletin. Mr.. Beochcr's family took
their turns in the cad vgils Of last night,
and at six o'clock when Dr. Senrle went
home this bulletin was issued
"Mr. Beecher has bsen gradually failing
during the night. His death is not. however,
anticipated at present W. 5. SEARLE."
The following WAS the noon bulletin:
1.-The condition of Mr.. Bescher ut this hour
does not vary essentially from that given 10
the press las! evening. The only changes
perceplible ARE an increase in the rapidity OF
pulse and respirntions. Those stand respec
lively 10S and Sc to So minute. The res
piration is also more shallow. The temper
AZURE reaches l0l degrees. These symptoms
indicate the gradual failure of vitality which
has heen anticipated aud the consequent
slow approach Of the end This course of
the disease can only be changed by the oc
cufrance Of fresh hemorrhase, an accident
which may or may not happen and the time
of which cannot be surmised. There are no
reasons to believe that fatal issue will oc

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES
Gen. Mahone's Views on the STATE
Debt. tSc.

Especial Dispatch to the Alexandria Gazette
WASHINGTON, D. c.. March Z. 1885,
GanMahone left this city yesterday for
Petersburg, but will return in few
days and probably remain for week or
more. Prior to his departure, in CONVERSE
ton with o prominent Virginia republicans,
who has been in his confidence long time,
in reference to the present mudd!ed conGi
ton of the debt Of his State, he said, with
emphasis, that he would allow his right arm
10 wither in its socket before, by word or
deed of his, or through any influence he
might possess, he would aid in repudiating
one cent Of the just indebtedness Of the
State. He was not, he said, at present,
prepared to present his views at length or
divulge his plan for the settlement, bnt at
the proper time he would make them known
Ia reference to the amount of the debt, he
thinks there is no difficulty in lis ascertain
ment, and that if tho State and her credit.
ors will employ three able Guanciers, Of this
country or from abroad, he would guarantee
to demonstrate to them. By facts and figures,
tho sum the State owes, and whatever
might be their decision he would pledge
himself 10 abide by it and use all his influ
ence to secure its adoption.
OF bis future pollica! course the General
is uncertain, but it is the general belief that
he will 60 into the fight the coming fall and
will assume the leadership, and in the event
of success crowning his efforts he will again
go to the Senate.
During the conversation mentioned
above the Genera! expressed much regret at
the failure Of the measures, forthe construct
ion of memorial bridge across The Poto
mac, at Arlington, and for al iceboat to
keep the river open during the winter.

Judge Turpie's Successor.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ill, MAJ. Tt was learn.
ed last night that several prominent gentle.
men HAYS written to President Cleveland
asking that President Smith. of the Senate,
be appointed Judge Turpie's successor or as
district attorney, and that the Governor has
signified his purpose of calling an extra SEES
sion of the legislature if the appointment be
made. Representative Patterns selection as
warden of the Southern prison, DR.. Shive-
ley'5 appointment to position on the state
board OF health aud Smiths resignation 10
accept the district attorneyship, should the
appointment be made, will cause three va
cancies to be filed by election, but each OF
the districts is solidly democratic, and there
would be no change in the political status
of the legislature. This would require
thirty days and the extra session gould be
called to meet at the end of that time,
the democrats conceding Robertson's right
to preside over the Senate during its
continuance. A strong effort is being made
for Smith, sbut Judge Turpis is understood
to oppose it because his contest and Smiths
confirmation would both be before the Sen.
ate at the same time. Other equally prom.
inent democrats. however, regard this as
the only way out of the muddle.

thrown the village into fever of excite

had been keeping company, called her into
the garden and shot her three times, one
bullet passing through the heart, another
through her neck and the third through her
head. He then returned to his home, half
mile distant, and shot himself through the
left lung. He is lying at the point of death
with but little chance of recovery. The
only reason known for the crime was his
extreme jealousy. 1t is alleged he had com.
